Stretched

The stress of being stretched is starting to get to me. In the next 48 hours, I have to make some things happen that must happen. There's no getting around it... No dodging it... Procrastination cannot be an option at this point.

What all do I have to do?
* I need to go to TSU to turn in my application to graduate school. (I've decided to work on a second masters. More later...)
* I need to complete my training to become certified as an online instructor.
* I need to create a make-up test for four of my students that I'm showing a little mercy to.
* I need to get my students' papers graded by Friday. (If I'm not mistaken, I have until Monday to get that done. But I don't want to put it off.)
* I need to go to the college and run the final exams through the scantron machine.
* I need to tally up the students' grades from the semester and transfer them to the official grading form.
* I need to finish designing my class that I'm supposed to teach during the winter break. (This class is scheduled to start Monday. So, without a doubt, I have to finish designing at least the first week of course content by the end of the day.)
* I need to submit some kind of request to get my online class approved by the distanced learning office. (I'm not sure what I need to do to get this done. So, I have to research it this morning.)
* I need to file my taxes from 2007. (Yes, I know that I am late. Don't shoot me. I'm paying for it already.)
* I need to apply for federal financial aid to attend school in the spring.

So, keep me in your prayers today and tomorrow. I definitely need the Lord to help me get all of this done. Also pray that my folks will be quiet, helpful, and understanding of my last minute stress.

Y'all have a good one. I'll check in by the weekend.

Blessings and light,

Angie Braden

Wow Angie. Stretched sounds like an understatement!! Well, I am sending all positive energy your way. I'm affirming that you'll handle all you need to and in fine form too!!

Thanks chi-Chi! I appreciate it. I haven't quite finished everything. But I'm making considerable headway. I've gotten the hard part done.
At this point, I need to finish grading papers and tallying up grades. Monday, I will handle up and get things finalized.
